Re: Key up's?

 

For me, it has to be a software issue of some sort because I can connect the shari to another pi with a fresh install, put it in the same spot, and it works flawlessly.?

Yes..?
?
>>What's your squelch setting?? etc.... You may have something keying it...Could it be a birdie? When it keys up... do you hear dead carrier?? or some type of modulation?
I have it set at 2
?
>>Does it key up with some type of traffic on the node channel -- or is the node channel quiet at the time it keys up and then goes to time out? Does it happen on all nodes or do you listen to just 1?
?
When i connect to a node and my node goes TX it stays keyed till time out.
?
>>Since you've tried SD card and such the SA818 is still a commonality.??
?
I have an idea as to what was causing it, but later confirmed with other test.
?
?
>>Does it do it without the internet connected?
?
Havent tried that, but i dont think it would as connecting to another node is not possible.
?
?
>>I'd try another SA818 frequency... Personally I use 440.440. I stay out of garage door opener area of 433mhz..
?
We have a local repeater on that frequency (or very close) and use 436Mhz as I have no garage doors in the area..
?
?
>>Do you use a PL tone???
?
Yes i use tones in and out.?
?
?
?
?
after much testing i have found that when I install the broadcastify it causes my SA818 to go into transmit and not go out till the timer shuts it off but next transmision does it again. I am going to have to look into the settings and see what and settings i have wrong as i am still using v2-3-4. but without putting breadcastafy on it, works like normal.
Thanks

The op was speaking of RAM in this case, not storage.

You can run HamVoIP on an 8GB card just fine. It will only use 4GB of that space no matter how large the card is, unless you manually expand the file system.

about 3.7GB, so you need to use an 8GB minimum.

8GB is definitely a waste in that context. If you use HamVoIP, that distribution is 32 bit, so half of that memory can¡¯t even be addressed.

Do you have a recommended/preferred amount of memory (2gb,4gb or 8gb) my raspberry Pi should have for this to work correctly?

I and Patrick Disagree.? As a matter of fact, I have 2 RPI2's running Allstar on 2 repeaters for over 7 years now..
?
I use RPI2's, RPI3 A & B & B+'s? and a RPI ZERO W2? When attached to a? SHARI that is all that is needed..

I¡¯m first would say I¡¯m a newbie to Allstar and I¡¯m looking for help with understanding a few items.
1) Am I correct the Shari Pi4U would plug into a USB port on my Raspberry Pi?
2) Once I have the image from the link Steve provided me, I would be able to access the Shari with my HT?

AutoWiFi hotspot mod

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have put together a script and files that will enable an auto-wifi-hotspot on the ASL3 image.

?

If no network is present, it will create an access point with the name ASL3_{MAC_ADDRESS}.

?

When you connect to it, it uses the sing-in feature to redirect you to the wifi sign on page where it scans nearby wifi.

?

Pick your WiFi and give it your password and then select Save and Reboot and it will reboot and be connected to your network.

?

You can look at the git repository here:?

?

The README.ME outlines the steps to get it going.

?

?

Thanks,

Re: Key up's?

 

I found that when i installed Broadcastify it caused issues. I have had to reformat the SD card and start over.
i just found this out. i am not sure what is causing yours, but you might look at the way you have SA818 prog setup,?
as well as the simple usb manager, i had issues because i had mine set up wrong. if you know someone that has one,
look at their setup and program your same way.

hope that helps.

Hello Steve,

Is PayPal the only method of payment?

Reason I¡¯m asking is our PayPal account was compromised and we quit PayPal a few years back. Otherwise I will need to check with our kids.

1) What are the 2 USB ports used for? I presume one is a connection to the PC?
In the SHARI PiXX product, both USB ports connect to Pi3 or Pi4.? One is used for Allstar and the other is used to progrm the SA818 radio module in the PiXX (frequency. subaudible tone, squelch, etc)

2) Is a power supply come with Pi3U or Pi4U? If not, what do I need to power the board?
A genuine? Raspberry Pi power supply is included with all of our assembled and tested units. A clamp-on ferrite used to mitigate "buzz" issues is also included.?

3 Do either of the units come with an Ethernet connection? If not, do i connect to my WI-FI?
Our SHARI PiHat assembled products (Neo, Unistorm and Pi53) products include the Raspberry Pi which has an Ethernet connection and WiFi.? Our SHARI PiZero products include 3 microUSB ports which can be used with a microUSB to Ethernet dongle ($10 option from us).? The HamVOIP and ASL3 Allstar images both include provisions to setup WiFi.
